“

Brekke puts on an outstanding tour. The quality of staff, hotels, and sites was exceptional. I embarked on this tour proud of my Norwegian heritage but now I know why. I come away from Norway even more proud to be Norwegian! I really appreciated all the personal connections Brekke has in Norway. You felt like more than conducting a tour, they were sharing their home. Every day was a new mountaintop experience.

There is not only beautiful scenery, but is very educational and helps one understand who settled the country and how they evolved as a culture and society. Great overview in less than 10 days!

FAQ

What is the difference between a power adapter and a power converter?

An adapter (which changes the physical plug) and/or converter (which changes the electric current) are necessary if you plan to use an appliance (curling iron, flat iron, rollers, etc.) in Scandinavia. Please note, if your appliance has dual voltage you may still need an adapter for the plug.
